About the series
Jean-Claude Forest’s iconic sci-fi heroine Barbarella returns to her original publisher, Humanoids, in a 2016 series that bridges her classic 1960s adventures with a modern sensibility. The run is bookended by Forest’s own artwork, with a single issue featuring a story from the character’s creator, while Kelly Sue DeConnick contributes a fresh narrative voice to the spacefaring icon. This brief but significant revival underscores Barbarella’s enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in European comics, blending psychedelic erotica and feminist agency.
